    Tips

    "Three soldiers were buried at the crossroads from Freusburg towards the Fischbacherwerk. In the 1950s, they and all the fallen soldiers were reburied in central military cemeteries or buried in their home communities.
    "In the topographical map that was created at that time, the place where the soldiers had been lying was noted with the note" Soldiers' graves ", writes Helmut Grindel, Freusburg, in the" Chronicle of Freusburg ". In order not to forget the events of the war and its victims, a memorial was erected on the site in the early 1990s. Three basalt columns remind and admonish. One of the pillars says:

    Wanderer, pause in devotion
    in memory
    the one in World War II
    fallen soldiers in the gable forest.
    You should admonish us
    to fight for peace
    to watch over him
    and to pray for him
    making it such madness
    never repeated again. "

      With the memory of specific people from our region, the madness of the war becomes clearer. Be sure to stop.

        As a memorial to the many dead, such memorials or war memorials are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." However, the people who are commemorated here did not divorce in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny.
        Many of the places and monuments that you come across along the way are evidence of the horrors of war and tyranny, which is still relevant and relevant today. They all have two essential functions, and this for each new generation:
        -1- Commemorate and remember the victims
        -2- Remind to keep the peace
